FUN DING OF EXC-1-IhQUltit BILLS. , On the, Motion of the CIiAN-C131.1.01t of the Ex. eav &B; .thd House went into a Committee of Way.aun Means. , The CHANCELLOR . of the EXCHEQUER pursuance ot Ahe notice he had given on a former day, was about to propose ,to the Hollst4 to fund a Certain. portion of the Exchequer Bills now outstanding. The abject he had in view was to land four Millions of these Exchequer Bills ; amid as the five per cent, stock was that with respect which -thecororaelors 16r loans made most difficulty, a culty, heine desirous as mud'. as possible to excluue it fr om their baroins, and .to• make theme 'biddings as much as poisiule:in the three per.,cents. he thought a con)ider.,ble ladility and advantage towards the negotiation of the ensuing Loa!) Would be gained, If it could be so arranged as that , these-4 1 0pn,0.00 of Exchequ'er Bills should; as far as•possible, be funded in five per cents. This would take off from the Loan the weight of five per cent. stock, which was 'considered by the Sub scribers as adcad wei B ht on the three per cents, and.of course rendered the biddings less favourable than -they would otherwiie be• The Loan would •notbe contracted for before .Easter, and, of course, the Sinking Fund on this part would be free till that time. This arrangement. would afford 4,00,0001. towards the supply, 'and would so tar reduce the Loan for the year. Though all the Supplies forithe year were not yet voted, and of course, it was ,not possible exadly to determine the anemia that would be wanted; yet theme was reason to thilik, that the amount of, Loan that would be required, after tak. ing these 4,000,000 of &chequer Bills out of the. market, would not be. more than 8,404,490 for England. This sum being consideraoty und.o what ,the Sinking Fund forthe year would be able tosdis charge, it was reaionatc.. to. conclude oral the Lou trray - be negotiated' under terms of extraordinary ad, vantage, particularly when the presenrarransement should he disconnected Irmo the Loan, and brought , into time market on separate terms. The facility which he hoped would be given by taking the 6 per cents. out Of the Leah, wohld.also be a mullet advantage. He .proposed to give an option to the holders'of Excite, quer Bills, to subscribe them either wholly, in 5 per cents. or partly to 5 and partly m 4 per cents. As the advantage to"the public from a subscription in 5 , per cents. was set much greater, lie propOsed.to low au' extthangv of tO5 per cents. for every- Exchequer Bills, tilt intcre,t to commence: from .sth January. If the, subscriptien should -he made jointly in-5 and 4 per cents. :the rate he proposed ..was, out. of the latter, and (131. 4s. of. the-former ; the interest to commence on the sth Of April. the wh01e.4,000,000 should be funded in .the 5 per cents:lfie Capital to be provided for would be 4,204,000. If-the funding should take place in mixed stock in the proportitinsle stated, the amount of capital would be in 5 per cents 162,559 ; in , 4 pt'r ; cents; 400,f540 ; making together •253,159. then made a stateMent of the charges of management and Sinking .Fund, according to- both arrangements. In a comparison ,of the .relative advantage of the terms with an investment in the 3 per cents., he allowed 'that a fall of 'something 'about one pet ; coot. had -.4.ken place the five per cents, in consequehce of the knowledge of intention to make this addition to the amount of that stock, But a proportionate fall' would take place in. the 3 per, cents. if it were fixed that that should be this medium of the funding; and the capital to be... provided for in that stock; according to a calculation on the most accurate principles, would be 4,253,6571, 'Under 1 these , circumstances, he- hoped the ' , House would have no ditlionhy in agreeing to the Resole. lion be meant , to propose; that the public advan.: tap Would. be deemed sufficiently attended to; and that the advantages held forth to the Snbscribers , would be a sefficientinducetnent,- while they would add' but little to the herthens of the public. 'The . adeitefage. that heloolted to for the public was not so much in the terms of the.present EirrAtigetnetnos in the negotiation of the Loan at a later pert, ii.of the yeJr,':and on .better terms. Hoo moved, that for eery 1(►01.

SITTART, • that the 5 per cent. Stuck to be created. by this arrangement would be of the same description as the Navy 5 Tier cents. the CUANCELLOR of the Exerts:overt said, in explanitihe to Mr..VANstr- TART, that there was no bargain for the arrangement 4it3 proposed for funding this amount of Escbequer Bills.—'l'he Resolution: was agreed. to ; and also ano ther. Resolution, limiting the amostot of Exchequer Bills to be. thus funded to 4,000,0001. . MARQUIS WELLESLEY.-LOUDE • On the motion of Lord Fot.e.sTotte, the Order of the Day for resuming the adjuurned:debate pe.the Oude Charge sgainst Marquis Wellesley was read, and also the Charges brought'on this part of thicon-* dud of-Lord Wellesley's Administrstion, eontaiumg. vetiOus allegations of gross and criminal breaches of . the • Treaty condnded between the r:oitipany and, the Nabob, for the' proteCtion and delea . ce of tliat Principality. Lord FOLKSTONE edverieci to the Charges of delay brought by tine fliends cif the Marquis Wel lesley, and claimed to himself , the credit of all pcis;- sibleexpedit ion in brining the question to a decision.; He adverted also 'to the accusations brought ; hy the Noble.. Marquis's:Frietitis, of attempts to pye.juditoa the public mipd,against him. He was a stranger to any sect) attempts. Btit he was well satisfied that there were attempts to prejudice the po'alte; mind in the Noble Marquis's favour.

He htieed'he should bq ahle to aildiice sietieient reasoes fur adopting tl, Resolution he meant to propose to the House.- If he should not he able so to do, he shouliiregret.,.having devoted his time so much to this ease. But, at all events , he hoped the House would examine end consider the case with an attention worthy of its importance, and that'it would not be diVerted from its tair judgment by respect or attachment .for any individual whatso ever. hepeoevery pentlentau in the .House had read. the Papers relating to the question.

The strictness with WhiCh:the . Nabeb executed ,the:rreity on hie parr, Wait teitiftea in the letters of L ord Wellesley to the Nabob, to theCsompany's Resident at Lueltnew, and to the Conn. Directurs. The reduction of the troops WAS wade by, the Nabob .Qply, half the regUlai battlieni of the army of Ode were kept and these the best and must serviceable. The were paid with 'the-strictest precision. Col. Scott, the Company's Resident at Lucknow, had or.; ders to acknowledge-this exactness in Lord Welles ley's name, and therefore Lord Wellesley could not complain of any imposition on the part of the Nabob on this bead. On the 3th of Nov. tint), Lord Wel lesley sent a letter to the . Resident, asserting:the Company's right to increase the •number of troops its the Nabob's territory.at its 04e:toile. The 'danger of an attack from ,Zertiaun .

This proposal; which " had burst forth in a moment of irritation, was seized .Ipr:in and pressed with the- most eager zeal by the Bengal Go -verininent, but without thin proviso of appointing, ones of • the Nabob's ' ions to' the succession. •• Troops were taarehed into the Nabob's territory ; his reve- Rues were seized for the payment of his own troops, not withstanding his offet to concert with Col: Scott the means of the the difficulties existing. • 'Lord -Wellesley expressing alarm at the destruction of the , revenues of , Oude, and claiming TO security for for, -fuer ,arrears, midst guarantee' for future payments, took the revenues into his own hands, andcominnted the subsidy for a territorial cession. A snail cession .was agreed to, but then a new , demartd was ereferred of 450,0001- for extraordinary; troops aboVe the. .0,000 stipulated for general 'defence. This demand exceeded by 300,0001.:the amount df the military aid furnished. But yet it was made a ground for insisting. on ,a treaty • 01 ° 11qt/ter territorial cession, ouneuuting. to half the Nabob's dottinions, and'af forditig a revenue of t,660,000L a revenue likely to - be much increased by a better administration. Mr. H. Wellesley insisted on this' edition, with aahreat' . to take away all the Nabob's dominiorts if it should not: bet complied with. The Nabob remonstrated, in a paper not regularly signed and direaed, and the IVlarquis4inswereci, in a letter couched in the most opprobrious terms. The poor Nabob had to say in ; : excuse only - thet the paper was petintended acciffi tie!. The objeet of the Nabob in making the ces eiens he had agreed to,, was to seeure to himself the ißoudtepLort authorityend c ee vit t reliesiy o in the. territory he possessed. saw only the opportnnities of' extending th e Compies.'s‘p Q wer, whi'dti he did ex tend, in violaffult of every obligation of teeaty, and evetT Oineiple of justice and law: The fie hle Lord having gone over the heads of tiw grounds rei which he "leant to re it hiseßesolutioosr expressed a hope : I ,• f the wealtaiet bc the .Adirci6te ivbifiti, t of ;;i v;ko4 thh Cause. the.cause derived additional weight Oont the fait that the evidence.

This would he enough for the vindication of every executive Oih tier. But he would h further, he would spew that even had that approbatioiriee been gir e n, the No ble Marquiereonduit ~either have beini not the less justifiable and lioticerable. Tlte sebjeet resolved itself into two parts, tratiermita ion of subsidy for territory, 'and the 'Military interference with the province of aide. With - regret 'to the'first point, J. the measures which she Nahle Marquis pursued were imperiously called for. Ho was guided by the declarations of the East India Company, repeatedly made; for instance, to Lord' Hobart, who was in struaed to transtnute subsidy into territory, in order that the territory from which the Company were to derive eupport in war should be in their' hands dur ing peace, 'and be thus rendered more available when a period of war' Might occur. Whets the Noble Marquis first went . outette he was charged by the Court of 'Direoldrs.with similar instructions, to change subsidy for territory ;' and when lie failed in an undertaking of :that 'na t ure (from circumstances which it was not necessary, to state), they lamented that failure. Subsequently, when the Neble Mars quieeffeeted a transmutation of subsidy for territory with the - Rajah of Tanjore, - the Court of'Direetors thanked him for so doing. Atter this, they 'could not surely turn short round and Seye that stn access sion of territory" Itaidilt was against the. law he all - cases. There seas timelier reason why tikey eatild'' not say this. Thinking , highly of the sef•vices of the Noble Marquis in the war :against TiPPoe • taus, the Court of Directors had' behaved to him as a' great body ought to blthavieto a gt4at man, and - had rewarded him with 'a pension tiering the con tinuance of their Cherter,' expreesiee'deelering, that by the deetredioneof Tipptio' the CoMpany lurid gained a greet' accession of territory How then could the Noble Marquis suppose, atterthis explicit' declaration, that there Could be any disapprobation of future transtirutitiote Bit this was not all. Th, Noble Marquis 'had, - in this Perticular ilistance, ins formed the' Company of his intentions ; he had told them that he meant to avail himself of the existing circumstances in Oadee. - to , introdsiee, the Blies!) Power into eletecoetitree 'l:'d this 'the Company 'expressed nre.'biejection ; they never repliod, that 'it was 'against the law, or entreeted big' to desist from the eiteCution of his plan% re was 'therefore 'fairly to be inferred, that those pleas met with their ceneurrence. With regard to the other 'part of the subjea, the introdutlion fore 6 in. to the Dewab,, was it noeovidetely the wish of the Directors that the civil and miiitary poWei of th e • Nabob of Oude should be -mit:lced ?
